用深度学习自动补全基因组代谢网络中的缺失反应,提升模型准确性。

A generalizable framework for unlocking missing reactions in genome-scale metabolic networks using deep learning

  • 将代谢网络建模为超图,通过超拓扑特征预测缺失反应
  • 对多种模型的虚拟缺口补全准确率超96%,显著改善表型预测
  • 适用于任意基因组尺度代谢模型,适合系统生物学与代谢工程研究

代谢过程知识不完整限制了基因组尺度代谢模型(GEMs)的准确性,阻碍系统生物学与代谢工程进展。现有填补方法多依赖表型数据以缩小计算预测与实验结果的差距,但缺乏在实验数据和注释基因组可用前,对初始GEM进行自动精准填补的方法。本研究提出CLOSEgaps,一种基于深度学习的工具,将填补问题建模为GEM中的超边预测任务。CLOSEgaps将代谢网络表示为超图,并学习其超拓扑特征,通过引入假设反应来识别缺失反应与缺口。实验表明,CLOSEgaps可对多种GEM中人工引入的缺口实现超过96%的准确填补;同时,它提升了24个GEM的表型预测能力,并在两个生物体中显著增强乳酸、乙醇、丙酸和延胡索酸四种关键代谢物的生成。该方法为任意GEM提供通用解决方案,有望实现填补过程的自动化并揭示反应与代谢表型间的缺失关联。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Incomplete knowledge of metabolic processes hinders the accuracy of GEnome-scale Metabolic models (GEMs), which in turn impedes advancements in systems biology and metabolic engineering. Existing gap-filling methods typically rely on phenotypic data to minimize the disparity between computational predictions and experimental results. However, there is still a lack of an automatic and precise gap-filling method for initial state GEMs before experimental data and annotated genomes become available. In this study, we introduce CLOSEgaps, a deep learning-driven tool that addresses the gap-filling issue by modeling it as a hyperedge prediction problem within GEMs. Specifically, CLOSEgaps maps metabolic networks as hypergraphs and learns their hyper-topology features to identify missing reactions and gaps by leveraging hypothetical reactions. This innovative approach allows for the characterization and curation of both known and hypothetical reactions within metabolic networks. Extensive results demonstrate that CLOSEgaps accurately gap-filling over 96% of artificially introduced gaps for various GEMs. Furthermore, CLOSEgaps enhances phenotypic predictions for 24 GEMs and also finds a notable improvement in producing four crucial metabolites (Lactate, Ethanol, Propionate, and Succinate) in two organisms. As a broadly applicable solution for any GEM, CLOSEgaps represents a promising model to automate the gap-filling process and uncover missing connections between reactions and observed metabolic phenotypes.
